chip set and 512MB of memory.
IPC-BX801 Series contains a power-saving high-performance Celeron (R) M process 1GHz, 852GM
chip set and 512MB of memory.
A number of extended interfaces such as serial, USB2.0 and LAN are all placed on the front side of the
main body for easier maintenance.
Adopting a CF card which has eliminated any moving parts, the product ensures maximum quietness.

Embedded-type CPU and chip set have been adopted. The use of readily a vailable parts ensures the ea se
of the use of the product. In addition, the use of a Contec-customized BIOS allows support to be
provided at the BIOS level.

1. Introduction

Operation guaranteed in a temperature range from -20 to +60° C with a v ibrati on res istanc e of 5G a nd an
impact resistance of 100G

The radiation structure with a built-in heater and the cabinet ensures a stable operation at any
temperature between -20 and +60

With a vibration resistance of 5G and an impact resistance of

°C.

100G, the product can also be used for mobile devices.

Safety design required for embedded applications
Unnecessary trouble can be avoided by the use of insulation lock clamps for prevention of cable

disconnection and the use of metal fittings for prevention of CF card disconnection.
An abnormal voltage or temperature is detected to shut down the system automatically.
Retention of CMOS data by EEPROM allows the system to start up even when the battery has run out.
Windows XP Embedded EWF function allows the power to be switched off without shutting down the
system. For OS-installed Models, Windows XP Embedded EWF function allows the power to be
switched off without shutting down the system.

* EWF (Enhanced Write Filter) is a function specific to Windows XP Embedded that protects the disk from being actually written by

redirecting the writing to RAM.

The adoption of a fan-less, CF card configuration providing high levels of reliability and quietness
As the cabinet itself forms an aluminum heat sink without a fan and with a CF card (bootable) as the

storage device, high levels of reliability and quietness have been achieved.

A wide range of power supplies (12 - 24VDC) supported
Supporting a wide range of power supp lies ( 12 - 24VDC) al lows t he power t o be su pplie d eve n from the

battery inside a mobile device.

Various installation methods available
Since the adoption of a CF card and sealed struct ure frees the produc t from insta llation lim itations, it can

be installed on a ceiling, wall or floor using the attached metal fixings.

Supported OS

- Windows XP Embedded

wait until the internal heater*1 completes the heating
process (the internal heater automatically turned off
when the process is completed), and then turn on the
CPU power to start the OS.
For the startup time from Low Temperature State, see
the graph below.

This setting is for the forcible activation.
Independently of the internal temperature and input
power supply voltage, turn on the CPU to start the OS
just as power is supplied. Use this setting within the
range of 0 to 60°C. Note that if this setting is used at
Low Temperature State, the internal heater*1 is turned
on, which results in a trouble.

This setteing is for the maintenance. This mode is used
to rewrite the firmware for the activation control
microcontroller, therefore, it is unlikely to be set and
used by a customer.

This is a reserved setting. It is unlikely that this setting
is used.

CAUTION

When the analog display is used, Windows MS-DOS may not be properly displayed in full-screen

mode.
This is because the frequency and resolution of Windows and MS-DOS (full-screen display) are the
same due to the screen settings while the display parameters are different.
For display, as only one parameter can be stored for one frequency or resolution, only either of
Windows or MS-DOS screen can be displayed properly.
In this case, change the resolution or display frequency of Windows so that it is not the same as for
the MS-DOS display.
If the analog display isn’t connected on startup, image signal may not be output. In this case, the
image signal will be output by pressing Ctrl+Alt+F1 keys on the keyboard.

* If the BIOS detects error 2C, 2E, or 30 (base 512K RAM error), it displays an additional word-bitmap (xxxx)

indicating the address line or bits that failed. For example, "2C 0002" means address line 1 (bit one set) has

failed."2E 1020" means data bits 12 and 5 (bits 12 and 5 set) have failed in the lower 16 bits. Note that error 30

cannot occur on 386SX systems because they have a 16 rather than 32-bit bus. The BIOS also sends the bitmap to

theport-80 LED display. It first displays the check point code, followed by a delay, the high-order byte, another delay,

and then the low-order byte of the error. It repeats this sequence continuously.

Baud Rate Settings
A baud rate is set by software by dividing the clock input (1.8432MHz). The baud rate in terms of

hardware can be set to a maximum of 115,200 bps for SERIAL1, 2, 3. The baud rates available in
practice depend on the operating environment (cable, software, etc.). The table below lists typical baud
rates and their respective values to be written to the divisor latch register (LSB, MSB).

Watch-Dog-Timer

The watchdog timer serves as a safeguard against possible system lock-up in your indus trial co mputer
system. In most industrial environments, there are heavy equipment, generators, high-voltage power
lines, or power drops that have adverse effects on your computer system. For instance, when a power
drop occurs, it could cause the CPU to come to a halt state or enter into an infinite loop, resultin g in a
system lock-up.

The application software created by user with the watchdog timer enabled, a RESET automatically
generated unless the software periodically triggers the tim er within the setting t ime-out interval. That is,
while the system gets hung up, th e running program can’t trigger the timer periodically. The timer will
generate a reset signal to reboot the system. This feature allows a running program to restart in an
orderly way when a power glitch or any abnormal condition occurs.

The watchdog timer comes with 255-level time-out interval, 1 - 255 seconds per interval, which can be
adjusted by software setting. There is a tolerance of 2 sec ond for t his time- out inter val. T o mainta in the
normal system operation, trigger the timer periodically by the user-created program in consideration of
the tolerance.

The CD-ROM [IPC-SLIB-01], which is bundled with the product, contains a sample program for the
watchdog timer. To see the sample program for the watchdog timer, decompress “HWMandRTCut.zip”
in \RasUtility\Samples\Module.

Ex.) If the time-out interval is set to 30 seconds, the user-created program must retrigger the watchdog

timer before 28 seconds will have elapsed in consi deration of the tolerance. I f the program failed to
retrigger the timer (if 28 - 32 seconds have elapsed), the system will automatically reboot.

The I/O port is defined at address 2e/2fH. You can trigger/enable disable the timer by writing address
2e/2fH.

Here is an example for flow chart and programming how to use the watch-dog-timer.

If [WDT Stop] is not performed within the limit time set up
by [WDT Start], system reset occurs.
